WAI brings wire & cable training on demand
The Wire Association International Inc. (WAI) has expanded its professional development video training courses to meet the evolving needs of today’s wire & cable manufacturing workforce.
The online platform offers on-demand access to both ferrous and nonferrous courses delivered by industry experts. With interactive content, multimedia resources, and up-to-date technical information, the platform enables students to expand their knowledge and skills at their own pace, from any location. Each course follows a structured, user-friendly format, combining industry-leading content with practical application for real-world scenarios.
What wire & cable professionals can learn
Courses currently include:
- Introduction to Ferrous Metallurgy
- Single-Layer Extrusion Overview
- Extrusion Applications
- Extrusion Materials
- Extrusion Special Process Considerations
- Manufacturing Safety
- Introduction to Drawing Dies
- Ferrous Heat Treatment
- Ferrous Testing and Properties
Courses are divided into clear, topic-focused videos for easy navigation through the material. Each five-minute video lesson builds on the previous one, and each course typically includes seven videos. Video content incorporates actual footage from wire making facilities, interactive animations, and visual demonstrations to bring complex technical concepts to life.
Quizzes and and certification
The program includes a quiz after each video lesson—a prerequisite to advance to the next lesson—and a digital certificate of completion.
John Markowski, WAI’s Director of Education, said:
“After an initial soft launch in Q4 2024, the program has progressed to include more offerings and definite interest for both individual and corporate training. We expect the option to purchase courses separately or bundled will be both convenient and practical.”
